PETE SEEGER & ARLO GUTHRIE (with Shenandoah)
WOLF TRAP FARM PARK - VIENNA, VIRGINIA 1978-08-23

Audio extracted via VLC for SugarMegs stream. (DVD with MENUS AND CHAPTERS)

This concert is a rare gem. It may be the ONLY "complete" (or nearly so, a few songs were left out of the PBS broadcast) concert of Pete in his prime (ok, a few years after his prime), and what a great concert it is. While Pete sticks to his familiar repertoire of sing-along standards (I'm Gonna Be An Engineer being the one exception), Arlo is all over the musical map, flatpicking an Irish fiddle tune, a bluegrass flavored Beatles cover, and telling not one but two shaggy dog stories in a row, including the hilarious "origin" of Tzena Tzena (which, of course, Pete and the Weavers made famous in 1950.) The finale of Lonesome Valley and Amazing Grace is...amazing. The symbolic father/son pairing of Pete and Arlo is inspired, and Woody's ghost is clearly present as these two legendary troubadours harmonize together.

I have never seen this torrented before, and to my knowledge nothing here is available commercially. I received the VHS in a trade quite a few years ago and have enjoyed watching it many times. The video is maybe 2 or 3 generations old and the audio has a little hiss but it hardly detracts. I'd call the whole thing a strong B+, but considering the rarity and excellence of the show it's an A as far as I'm concerned. Pete is now 87 and still going, but not singing much anymore. It's a pleasure to share Pete and Arlo with folk music lovers around the world, with thanks to those of you (and especially the wonderful folks at EZ/DIME) who have shared great music with me.

This is my first upload. If there's a problem I'll do what I can to fix it. If the DL is slow or erratic please hang with me or check back for news. No artwork...sorry. I'll post screenshots.
